You may not be able to neutralize family tensions during the holidays, but you can neutralize foods odors on your hands! Awakening Mineral Skin Care announces an espresso-based hand cream designed to suppress food odors while healing and hydrating skin. Awakening Espresso HANDS is from a line of mineral-rich, cruelty-free lotions and balms hand-formulated to help improve the health of hands, feet, elbows, face, neck and body.
"The vase of coffee beans on the cosmetics counter at Bloomingdale's or Nordstrom's is there for a purpose — to cleanse the nose of fragrance," comments Rob Hardwicke, Awakening President & Product Master. Hardwicke adds, "Our Espresso HANDS product functions in the same way: using coffee to cleanse the skin of cooking odors — and much more — as it also hydrates and heals skin."
Tips for removing holiday cooking odors from kitchens & hands:
- Place several whole coffee beans in a baking dish in your oven at low heat. The aroma is wonderful, even for those who don't like coffee;
- Run your hands on something made of stainless steel. This usually is the blade of a knife, so be careful doing this if you're sipping wine while roasting your turkey!
- Rub a single pearl-sized drop of Awakening Espresso HANDS into both sides of your hands. Not only is this an antioxidant for skin health, but it absorbs to a silky texture within 40 seconds of application leaving skin soft and odor-free. And because it's never greasy or sticky, it's "chef-friendly" (and will endure several hand washings).
Awakening products emphasize the use of natural magnesium and potassium for topical application to the skin to heal and hydrate, yet leave the skin with a pleasantly silky texture. The company isolates these two minerals at its boutique Mediterranean lab, then hand crafts creams using essential oils and botanical extracts. Because the products are unisex, the creams' natural fragrances are subtle and non-floral.
Awakening Mineral Skin Care is a California corporation headquartered in Canyon, California and markets its products online at www.awakeningskincare.com as well as specialty boutiques and select Whole Foods Markets.
